Some people don’t leave the house without their dopamine fix. But there’s no supplement or medication involved. All they have to do is change their outfit.
Dopamine dressing is rooted in the idea that your brain can trigger increased levels of dopamine — a neurotransmitter linked to pleasure, motivation, and learning — just by wearing certain combinations of colors, patterns, and styles. The practice, which has a degree of crossover with maximalism, challenges the notion that the best way to boost your confidence and self-esteem is to dress according to your body type or wear designer labels.
